As a blogger you’re always looking for the latest trends. And that means – not only fashion trends! As you know I’m a big big coffee lover and lately there’s a coffee trend out there, which you may already heard about: the flat white! But like other trends, it can get a bit confusing at times. How do I make one correctly and with what ingredients? How much milk foam and how much espresso? Shoutout to Nescafé Dolce Gusto for the perfect solution – a flat white in only one capsule.

Midsummer in Germany – outside it’s way too hot, the air conditioning (if it’s even there) is buzzing, and stress levels are increasing! Exam time and deadlines make me sweat next to the unbearable heat – and that is neither comfortable nor beautiful and smelling good. Honestly, I am also one of the guys who are just so nervous at presentations or important events, that they start sweating easily. Cool is really something else! As if the whole thing was not uncomfortable enough, the sweat and co. can ruin the expensive shirts and designer clothes. Hello (sweat) stains! This doesn’t ruin my well-being…

Deadlines, events and co. – in the summer there is always lots of work! Not onlyare in July and August all of my university deadlines pending, there are tons of events and there is so much blogger work to do. In addition, I am always planning for my longer trips to New York City, and so everything is somehow in the short period of summer. Most of the time things get a bit quieter here, since most of the work takes place in the background, but it’s still stressful – believe it or not! But I can not complain …

For more than 6 months I’ve been self-employed now and it feels great! For some it might sound like heaven on earth — you can work whenever and wherever you want, but in the beginning this flexibility was very tough for me. I had to find my own routine, I had to plan my day. Since I’m studying next to my blogging job, it’s very crucial to have a routine and a plan. If you think you can live in the day, you’re completely wrong. From nothing nothing comes. In this blogpost I’d like to show you a typical day of my life and let you know why coffee plays such an important role and is LIFE.

For more than six months I’ve been working on my own now. No boss, no place I have to go to. Even though this is pretty cool, you have to be very motivated and have a lot of discipline to let your business run. There are still those things called deadlines that need to be met. But you don’t have a fixed schedule were you have to work. You can work anytime you want – an experience of freedom, but for people like me – last minute is my time to shine – it isn’t always that easy. But I have to commit: when it comes to blogging and my business, I really have lots of discipline and always meet the deadlines and never miss appointments. If you ask my lecturers at university… well don’t. 😉 Since I can work whenever and wherever I want, I’m very flexibel and mobile and I can use my time more effectively. My notebook is always with me and my iPhone is almost glued to my hands.
